Definitive books on nihilism?

>> No.4120791

Demons by Dostoyevsky.

>> No.4120811

What about books from Nietzsche? That's the guy who birthed the whole thing.

>> No.4120829

>>4120811
Stop being so naive. People have always felt it. Nietzsche just let the joker out of the box.

>> No.4120837

ya boy yung Nietzsche only agreed for those extreme ideas for a bit, after he read Schopenhauer. He was all bout the 'Superhuman' afterwards

Will joining the school of nihilism eliminate all feels?

>> No.4120844

>>4120829
I'm not the guy you're referring to, but I think it's not really the case that people always felt it. To be honest, if I look around today, few people come to my mind, "feeling" it.

>>4120811
I wouldn't say Nietzsche started the thing, because the guys actually "starting nihilism" where Darwin, emerging "modern physics" etc. Nietzsche was the first intellectual (with Schopenhauer) to start to overcome nihilism.

Early Daoism and Jed McKenna.
Any of the mystical traditions pretty much.
Chan/Zen Buddhism.
Fucking most interesting/insightful things are complicated nihilistic evasions that go "there's nothing, but..."
Why even believe anything unless you're straying from a basic nothingness? Or kidding yourself that you are. Even actively believing in nothing is still putting something outside you to believe in, which in turn builds a specific self that is not nothing. Implying I don't do exactly this. Implying there's a way out. Implying that if there is it has anything to do with personal choice since I don't exist. Implying that I'm not just on one level believing that I don't exist so I don't have to risk the possibility that I really don't. This dream was never yours. Your words are only its words.
It's cool tho

seep seep the chalky drops

Well Turgenev invented the term in Fathers and Sons.

Also any Dostoyevsky will deal with nihilism, but especially Crime and Punishment. He's no fan of it though.

Agreed. If you feel overwhelmed the first time, just remember to meno-pause in between.
